Mike Brown is not stupid or dumb. What business person does not want to make profit?.
It seems to me the more recent contracts that have been offered to Cincinnati Bengals players have been competitive to other offers. Therefore the perception that the front office is cheap is antiquated.
Mike Brown is 82 years old and will be 83 next August. Although it seems to some that his role in the organization has diminished over the years he still has a significant impact on personnel and coaching decisions. I do not see this changing for at least another five years.
The much-maligned Marvin Lewis can only do so much in terms of retaining player personnel. I think the coaching staff has a bigger impact on the draft which looking back over the last few years has been hit-and-miss.
The problem I see with the Cincinnati Bengals organization has remained constant over the years is the loyalty to player personnel and coaching staff members who do not perform up to expectations. Simply put the front office specifically Mike Brown is not willing to make changes to improve team performance at least not without much deliberation. Change is slow in this organization.
The entropy of the Cincinnati Bengals offensive line became apparent this year. The decision not to maintain the pro bowler offensive left tackle was a major mistake. A mistake that upset even the head coach. The decision to retain a center that underperforms from year to year is baffling. This clearly points to Paul Alexander's influence. Yet the Cincinnati Bengals retain Paul Alexander's contract from year to year.
The decision to maintain loyalties to certain players with character issues who repeatedly have run in with law enforcement is the norm for the Cincinnati Bengals. Why?
As an average fan myself and a loyal Cincinnati Bengal fan My Hope Is that when there is a change in the front office that they have more of an urgency to make changes to win.
